Executive assistant who streamlines operations, budgets, and payroll while partnering with executives and clients.
What I'm looking for
I’m an executive assistant recognized for strategic administrative and operational support, with a track record of delivering results through high standards of expense management, service, and professionalism. I handle budgets, scheduling, correspondence, customer service, logistics, and payroll—producing clear monthly summaries and reports while reconciling and balancing accounts with accuracy.
I also strengthen teams by building efficient systems and driving process improvements. From supporting executive leadership with schedule and travel coordination to collaborating on marketing strategy, I’ve supervised creative talent, managed content calendars and paid social media campaigns, and even transitioned financial records from Excel to QuickBooks; I continue to apply data and reporting skills gained through my Data Analytics training at Columbia University.
